Plex ERP Optimization for a Tier 1 Automotive Supplier (Europe & U.S.)
The Client
A Tier 1 automotive supplier with operations spanning the U.S. and Europe engaged Venteon Consulting Services to restore stability and performance after a challenging Plex ERP go-live. The company’s leadership team sought a rapid response partner capable of resolving critical system disruptions, rebuilding process confidence, and aligning cross-regional operations under a unified ERP framework.
With mounting customer pressure, backlog issues, and strained internal resources, the client needed both immediate triage and long-term process transformation to achieve sustainable operational control.
The Challenge
The organization faced significant ERP disruption following implementation:

- SCAR and Quality Instability – Escalating customer and supplier complaints impacting OEM relationships.
- Process Inconsistency Across Regions – Divergent practices between U.S. and European teams created inefficiencies.
- Limited Governance & System Visibility – Lack of structure for tracking, prioritizing, and resolving system-wide issues.
